We'll be cooking up a bit of Acadian stew known as Fricot- the precursor to Cajun Gumbo, and other delicacies. Fun for all ages including a chance to try some Acadian percussion instruments and maybe learn some French to sing along. =0D=0A=In 1604 the Acadians landed in Maine from France. 400 years later, Boréal Tordu takes Maine-Acadian music from traditional ballads and footstomping fiddle tunes to a new realm for a new generation, while preserving the unique character of Acadian culture.=0D=0A=Boréal Tordu is a quartet of Maine musicians playing material commonly called French-Canadian music. This music is really the music of Franco-American culture, the tunes of New England mill towns and coastal communities on both sides of the border — “Acadian folk, Cajun swing, maritime ballads, crooked fiddle tunes and foot-stomping French dance music.”=0D=0A='…a fun brand of rootsy acoustic music that's accessible... and features some top-notch musicality and singing.=0D=0A=Sam Pfeifle - The Portland Phoenix=0D=0A=Watch the Amazing Things web site as we develop an Acadian Culture day experience that will delight and educate.
